What scams have been attempted on you?

[Triforceofcourage]

I have had the gas station scam attempted on me where they gave a sob story and asked for five bucks for gas which of course I didn't fall for.

I also had anoterh jackass try to scam me in the circuit city parking lot trying to sell me speakers which I didn't fall for either. Then a month later the same jackass tried it again. lol

just the normal phishing emails, that i either delete or forward to the company.

if ppl beg money in the streets, i either ignore them... or give them a quarter just to get them to go away.

Some guy at the airport asked for a couple of bucks because he said he left his car on overnight parking and he didnt have enough to pay for the bill, he even said he would mail me back the money and i gave him the money and i never got my money back.

Count yourself luck.

I was ripped off for "some things" that cost MUCH more than pot....

i almost got scammed on ebay for buying 50 60gb iPods for 8 grand. eBay closed the auction early.

BTW the last ep of Enterprise sucked big fat monkey balls, just spreading the word.

None so far. I'm the most paranoid person I know. I trust no one, I like it that way.

I bought a camera on ebay.
The seller ordered the camera with someone else's credit card through an online retailer and had it shipped to me.
It looked like I stole their credit card.
. . .
Profit?

Scams...hmm....

Two nigerians got in my car and wanted me to take them to a bank and later solicited my money to go with theirs. I stopped my car on the interstate and kicked them out. I was pissed when I figured it out.

Marriage. No telling how much this will cost me.

The marine corps. Recruiter tells me "no such thing as a two year hitch, sign up for 4 like a good marine." Others in my boot camp platoon had 2 year hitches.

Speakers and meat being sold in my neighborhood by guys driving through in pickup trucks.

That's about all I can recall at the moment.

Oh yea, marriage.

People trying to sell magazine subscriptions, where they're really just pocketing the money.
Various internet scams.

"Thanks!"

/stuffs $100 bill in pocket and walks off.
